This canister is similar to earlier other ones that I have listed by Grimwades. However, it is not by Grimwades - as the lettering is printed in black (not green) - and there are no details of the manufacturer on the jar. It is probably slightly later that the original Grimwades prototype - possibly 1920s or 1930s. It is difficult to be specific about the manufacturer with the absence of any maker's mark, as a few companies produced these canisters after the Grimwades examples were such success. This one could possibly have been made by Maling.
The generic name for these storage jars is "hooped canisters" due to there distinctive raised hoops running around the body.
All these old jars were designed for practical household use, storing common kitchen staples.
This is one has the letters: LENTLS on the side of the canister (the lettering is sans serif and the font Art Deco in feel. The colour of the lettering is black). It has a good bit of age to it and it is certainly a fine size for storing lentils. It is a lovely canister and in good condition with no damages. This is reflected in my asking price.
It is looks lovely when on display. It measures just over 6 inches in height – and has a diameter of 4 3/4 inches. The canister has the impressed number "6" on the base indicating its size.
